Library:Lord Narayana instructs Brahma to churn the milk ocean by Gods and Demons.
Sūta said:
At that very moment, O sage, the two sisters noticed Uccaiḥśravas coming closer.
All the gods, joyful in appearance, worshipped him. When the nectar was churned, the unsurpassed horse jewel emerged.
The horses, possessing the great strength of a flood, are the best among the swift, glorious, ageless, divine, and marked with all auspicious signs.
Śaunaka spoke:
How did the gods churn that nectar, and where was the greatly powerful and splendid king of horses born? Tell me.
Sūta said:
The immovable Mount Meru, shining and unsurpassed in its brilliance, casts the light of the sun with its golden, radiant peaks.
A wonderful golden ornament served by gods and celestial musicians, immeasurable and invincible by people abundant in unrighteousness.
A great mountain, inhabited by terrible serpents and illuminated by divine herbs, stood tall, covering the heavens with its height.
The place is so enchanting that it is beyond the reach of even the mind, filled with rivers and trees, and resonating with the sounds of various charming birds.
All the gods of great energy mounted his back, which was adorned with many jewels and was auspicious, appearing as if it had endless imagination and was elevated.
The gods, having gathered there for the purpose of obtaining nectar, began their deliberations while seated and engaged in austerities.
There, Lord Narayana addressed Brahma, saying this: While the gods were contemplating and deliberating in every way.
The gods and the groups of demons should churn the ocean of pots. Nectar will emerge there when the great ocean is churned.
O gods, by collecting all herbs and jewels, churn the ocean and you will obtain the nectar.
